The kit includes 10 ball-style drain valves constructed from brass, providing durable shutoff capability at the tank drain port. Each valve measures 3 inches and is suited for installation by licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians. The brass construction resists corrosion in water heater drain environments, making this kit a practical supply to keep on hand for multiple service calls or installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drain valve kit is intended for water heater applications where a reliable ball valve drain is required. The 10-piece quantity makes it appropriate for wholesale stocking, multi-unit residential projects, or service fleets that replace drain valves routinely during water heater installation or maintenance. It is compatible with standard water heater drain port connections where a ball-style valve is preferred over a gate-style valve for positive shutoff performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass construction for corrosion resistance in water heater drain applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall valve design provides positive, full-bore shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 inch valve size suitable for standard water heater drain ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit quantity of 10 supports multi-unit installs or service stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM-sourced AO SMITH replacement component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement drain valve for AO SMITH water heaters requiring a brass ball-style drain valve at the tank drain port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Before replacing a drain valve, shut off the cold water supply and power or gas to the water heater, and allow the tank to cool. Thread the valve into the drain port by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then snug with appropriate hand tools. Do not overtighten brass fittings, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ball\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AO SMITH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100269117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAILWIND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51150669775154,"sku":"100269117","price":25.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/305988844.jpg?v=1778615518","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ao-smith-100269117-brass-ball-drain-valve-kit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
